Another Tanker image by yours truely.

Lets see, soft pastels.. I pretended i was an artist at one time so I have tons of art supplies laying around. Pulled them out and tried to think of something halfway interesting.

Levels resize, unsharp mask and sharping I think... levels again, croped, rotated 270 degrees.

At first I was going to use this as an symbolance for the Eye or Ra... but changed my mind when the image looked like the sun and moon.

Looks like I lost some quality as well with the upload. Bummer.

Anyway I chose this DOF because The 'sun' colours are bright and will overpower the image unless the 'moon' colours bring something to the table.

I think I would have liked this rotated 90 counter clockwise. Also, since the challenge is pastel, I think softer colors should have been used and the softest ones be in focus.

Cool shot, but it would've been better if the pastels had been in pastel colors, too.

Interesting composition, I keep wanting to tilt my head to look at it. I am not sure I would classify these colours as pastels though.

Far from pastel.

I like the light/dark, but the overall tone of the photo is dark which strays from the challenge, imho

great idea and well shot, not sure about the grain in the table, a cloth or sheet on the table may have provided a cleaner image (6)

I would have prefered this in landscape but it is nicely done and well thought out.

I think it defeats the purpose of the challenge: this is saturated colors not pastels?
